Description
Nestled amid the picturesque Irish countryside, this traditional four-bedroom detached house located in Derryvahan, Ballyconnell offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a residence with character and potential. Originally constructed in the 1950s and later expanded, this property is set on a generous 0.64-acres of mature private land, promising scenic views at every turn. It’s the kind of place where time seems to slow down, where you can truly savor each day, right at the doorstep of Ireland’s famed rural beauty.
Pedara Vohers, part of Ballyconnell, is a small village with all the quintessential aspects of Irish rural life. In this quiet, peaceful area, life moves at a different pace. The community here is tightly-knit, welcoming, and full of life. There's a rich local culture that you can be part of, and you'll often find yourself engaged in local activities or perhaps even in a friendly conversation with neighbors, a common occurrence in such a setting.
With its central location, Ballyconnell is strategically situated just a short drive away from various amenities in Bawnboy and Swanlinbar. These nearby towns provide a selection of shops, cozy pubs, and delightful eateries, blending local charm with practicality. If you're feeling like a slightly bigger adventure, a 12 km journey lands you in the bustling hubs of Ballinamore and Ballyconnell proper, where an extended range of facilities awaits, from schools and crèches to vibrant shopping streets and charming restaurants.
For the outdoor enthusiasts, the area doesn't disappoint. Known for the Shannon-Erne Blueway and Ireland's stunning Lakelands, there are endless opportunities for leisurely walks, cycling, fishing, or simply enjoying a peaceful picnic by the water. Those with a taste for the more adventurous lifestyle will find this location apt for exploring, with the hills and lakes nearby offering an expanse of nature to immerse oneself in. It's an ideal destination for hiking enthusiasts, with trails providing some of the most breathtaking views in the region.
The climate here is typically Irish, characterized by its mild, temperate conditions that bring out the lushness of the landscape throughout the year. While rainy days are part of life here, they also provide a wonderful opportunity to curl up by the stove with a warm drink and a good book – or to engage in a chat with friendly locals in a nearby pub.
The house itself, while in good condition, beckons those who are ready to infuse it with their personal touch. Its traditional style offers a good foundation for anyone keen to embark on a renovation project. Key here is the potential to transform it into a home that mirrors your vision, with the advantage of potentially qualifying for available property refurbishment and SEAI upgrade grants.
